The Electric Monk Show - New Orleans - Version 0.0.7
In the chaotic aftermath of a massive information breach, Lala is faced with the choice to join the Electric Monks, a cyber-spiritual order that has emerged in a society now radically split between analog adherents and digital disciples. Physical theater meets live AI-driven programming.
Followed by a talkback with the creators.
